Despite a report this morning, I can confirm that Obsidian is *not* in negotiations to avoid shutting down. Plenty of details are still up in the air surrounding the layoffs (picture will be clear on Monday) but Xbox is keeping Obsidian, according to people familiar with the situation.

Podcast was uploading to YouTube while I went to the movies to see Disclosure Day, for some reason it didn't finish, so I had to start over. Going to be a bit. Sorry! In other news Disclosure Day was awesome. Spielberg is the GOAT

I've seen this everywhere today and I'm GLAD. This is the truth, the energy, and some white people need to be delivering the same speeches.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I'm mostly convinced we're heading towards a video game crash, the lines can't go up forever, and these companies can only fire so many people. Sure they can try to AI themselves out of this, but the tech isn't there, and even if it is, it's just regurgitated bullshit. People want art, not slop.

With rumors that the re-release of End game will have a new post credit scene I was thinking. Since endgame ended with the sound of Tony building his armor. What if it shows Victor building his armor but flashing between Tony and Victor on each hammer strike.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

NO shade to the people that work at IGN, but this is awesome news. More independent stuff!

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like. And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie
